2:29 Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, ☩ * according to thy word in peace;
2:30 Because my eyes have seen * thy salvation,
2:31 Which thou hast prepared * before the face of all peoples:
2:32 A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, * and the glory of thy people Israel.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end.

Amen.

Before the ending of the day,
Creator of the world, we pray
That with thy wonted favor thou
Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.

From all ill dreams defend our eyes,
From nightly fears and fantasies;
Tread under foot our ghostly foe,
That no pollution we may know.

* O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.

R. Because the Lord is truly risen, alleluia.

Comment by Flavia Talladen Schott on April 15, 2017 at 4:01am: Grant, we beseech thee, O Almighty God: that we who anticipate the resurrection of thy Son with pious expectation, may obtain the glory of the same resurrection.
Finish silently
Through the same Jesus Christ, thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
R. Amen.

Comment by Flavia Talladen Schott on April 13, 2017 at 5:52am: Psalm 53 [1]
53:1 Save me, O God, by thy name, * and judge me in thy strength.
53:2 O God, hear my prayer: * give ear to the words of my mouth.
53:3 For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: * and they have not set God before their eyes.

53:4 For behold God is my helper: * and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

53:5 Turn back the evils upon my enemies; * and cut them off in thy truth.
53:6 I will freely sacrifice to thee, * and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:
53:7 For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: * and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.

Amen.
